Survey Description
This study is based on an initial ten days of helicopter sampling in 2012, followed by seven weeks of targeted bedrock mapping and supporting multidisciplinary studies spanning two field seasons in 2014 and 2016.
Geochemistry for 193 bedrock samples provides the first comprehensive geochemical dataset for the Thelon tectonic zone.
The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 8234.
